Have you read the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act?

So, are remote start alarms also a warranty-voiding item?

FYI, remove all aftermarket parts before taking it in to the dealership, I suppose you already know that know. What I have learned is showing respect and being very civil went a long way with my local dealership. good luck!

Thats complete bulls***...Ask tehm how they are going to void your warranty and ask more specifically what they are going to void?

They cannot void the entire warranty as the turbo timer does not affect all systems.

My RX-7's factory manual recommends 30 sec idle time before shutting down to let the turbos cool

I have remote start alarm with 3 minute turbo timing feature(Not Activated). Go to another dealership if possible I also had a dealer say they wouldn't touch my car if I altered it in any form. After painting the calipers I went in for the brake pads contacting rotors on turns issue and after they said the caliper warenty was voided they went ahead and fixed it.

As long as it's "installed correctly" there should be no issue.

my dealer never said anything about my turbo timer. i just turn it off, so that they don't wonder why the car is still running after they pull the key out of the ignition.

Yeah hopefully the person who is driving it from point a to b are aware of the reasoning behind cycling the oil thru the turbine

Don't forget the coolant line too. Its not just the oil's job alone anymore.
